Charles Steckler,
professor of theater and resident designer, was awarded a juror's prize at the
2002 exhibition of the Mohawk-Hudson Regional at the Albany Institute of
History and Art in August. The works, shadowbox dioramas, were created during
Steckler's sabbatical fellowship residency at the Vermont Studio Center last winter and were exhibited at the Red Mill Gallery in Johnson, Vt., in December. The dioramas are featured this month in a one-person show
at the Hooker-Dunham Theater and Gallery in Brattleboro, Vt. An exhibit of Steckler's stage designs, “Setting The Stage,” will
accompany the dedication of the new Butzel Art Gallery at the Schenectady School of the Fine Arts. The exhibit runs though Dec. 31.
An upcoming group show at Cyclics Corporation on Technology Drive in Schenectady will present Steckler's masks and small wall
constructions. The show opens Nov. 22.
